Three Assamese people were among the 25 people killed in the Goa club fire.

In order to transport the bodies of the three residents of the northeastern state who were among the 25 persons killed in the fire that tore through a nightclub on Saturday, Assamese authorities said on Monday that they were in contact with their Goan counterparts.
"The bodies are anticipated to arrive here tomorrow [Tuesday], and tickets have been arranged." Shamim Ahmed, an officer with the District Disaster Management Authority (Cachar), stated, "All arrangements have been made, and we are trying to provide the families with financial aid under existing provisions."
Two of the three, Rahul Tanti, 32, and Manjit Mal, 24, were from the tea garden villages in the Cachar district.

Mal, a Silcoorie Grant resident and the son of a tea garden laborer, had relocated to Goa more than a year prior and was employed as a nightclub cook. He was home five months ago to set up his sister's marriage, according to his family, who said he was their only earner. A family member stated, "He was helping us by working hard in Goa, and our lives had started changing because of him."
Tanti, who lived in Kathal Grant, Cachar, worked in Goa with his two other brothers. We find it hard to accept that he is no longer with us. We initially believed he was hurt when the news broke at 2:30 in the morning, but his brothers later confirmed his passing.

Banul Tanti, his father, stated, "We want the authorities for assistance in returning the remains.
"We were waiting for him to come home soon, but now only his body is coming," stated Sukriti Tanti, his wife. My world has collapsed. The mother of two daughters and a two-month-old son remarked, "I don't know how I will raise my children."
According to locals, younger individuals from the area were leaving the area in search of employment, frequently in restaurants, hotels, etc., because there were no chances back home. Tea gardens are also in bad shape. Young people are leaving the area since there are no significant industries there. Resident Guru Prasad Malah stated, "They work as cooks, guards, and other low-profile jobs where life security is low."

The alleged apathy of public officials infuriated the locals. "They passed away on Saturday night, but neither the MPs nor the ministers paid the families a visit or offered consolation. Another person remarked, "This demonstrates how disregarded we are."
Diganta Pator, 30, was employed at the nightclub and lived in Matikhola in the Dhemaji region. His relatives stated they had gathered his remains and were transporting them home.
